Donald Trump’s explosive comments this week about U.S. intelligence agencies and Russia are reverberating through Minnesota politics, with one of the state’s Republican congressmen rebuking Trump while the other two remained silent for the second day in a row.

“The bottom line is this: Russia is not our ally, and they need to be confronted about their hostile actions that include interfering in our elections, undermining basic democratic values, poisoning citizens of other countries, cyberattacks,” U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen said in an interview Tuesday. “The president should clearly understand and know who we’re dealing with in Russia.”
